The right company is confirmed first; the detailed investigation follows.
Registries and disclosure portals queried
Findings
Risk: CautionBasic profile
Founding year, capital, headquarters and line of business were confirmed from public sources. Headcount was not stated anywhere, so the field is left blank.
Corporate structure
One parent and two affiliates confirmed. The ultimate controlling interest could not be traced from public sources.
Official and legal trouble
No administrative penalty or litigation record was found.
Misconduct and quality
One product recall notice was found, with its cause and remedy stated.
Local reputation
Several counterparty reviews in the local language; opinion is divided.
A worked example using invented companies. It bears no relation to any real business or organisation, and any similarity of name is coincidental. No links are shown and no URL is displayed. Not the result of a live investigation.
The real obstacle in assessing a foreign counterparty or checking on an investment is simple: you know neither that country's registration system nor its language. With Factdock you enter a company name and a country — or the official site URL — and the investigation runs from the public registries and disclosure portals of some fifty jurisdictions, in the local official language and in English at once. And because a list of candidate companies is shown first, so you can check locations and officers before fixing on one, the search cannot quietly end up examining a different company with the same name.
What this tool does
Two-step identification, so you never investigate the wrong company
Enter a company name, country or official website and you first get a list of candidate companies. You compare locations and representatives and confirm the right one before the detailed investigation starts, which reduces the risk of investigating a namesake or a subsidiary by mistake.
Risk assessed from five angles
The investigation covers five pillars — basic profile, corporate structure, official and legal trouble, misconduct and quality issues, and local reputation — and returns a clear verdict of safe, caution or high. Only public information is organised, and anything that could not be confirmed is left blank rather than filled in by guesswork.
Around fifty countries' public portals, queried in the local language
The local official language and English are used together, going directly to the primary sources that each country's commercial register and disclosure regime actually provide. From a single-country check to a global one spanning headquarters and overseas sites, the living public record — and the trustworthy local material around it — comes out smoothly.
Deep analysis reaching officers and capital structure
Officers' backgrounds and public risk, and shareholders' stakes and type (corporate, individual, fund and so on), are laid out as a hierarchical tree so the effective controlling interest becomes visible. Every item carries its source link, so you can always return to the primary document.
AI converts your search keywords and translates the results.
Where it's used
“When you want a first pass over a new overseas counterparty's existence and trustworthiness before signing”
“When an acquisition or an investment calls for a precise picture of who ultimately controls the company and how the capital is held”
“When litigation, administrative penalties or quality problems have only been reported locally, and you want to check in that country's language”
“When you want to confirm from the registry and disclosures whether a counterparty's officers carry any public trouble or concern”

Strict data handling, nothing kept on our servers
The company names and search conditions you enter are processed only temporarily for the investigation and are not stored on Factdock's servers, so you can use it with confidence even for sensitive company checks.
